1bursday's coronation featuring 1973 Misa Montana Debbie Reber of Helena, Friday's pep rally, and Saturday's parade and Frontier
football matching Western against Rocky Mountain. (Bridenstine Photo)
NIGHT WATCH is a play of
suspense in two acts written by
Lucelle Fletcher and produced by
Professor Joe Ryburn. The locale
of this play could be almost any
crowded metropolitan area,
where often the rich and poor live
side by ·side. The setting has a
large room with a big picture
window looking directly into a
nm-down tenament building.
Unable to sleep, Elaine
Wheeler paces the floor staring
into the black void of a run-down
tenament building. Her husband,
John Wheeler, tries to comfort
her but when he steps into the
room, 'Elaine screams and says
she saw a light go on in the old
building and a dead man sitting .
in a chair. Soon the detectives
arrive but are unable to find
anything. The tension rises when
Elaine again sees another body,
thi time a YOWlg woman. John,
feeling Elaine is on the verge of a
nervous breakdown, calls in a
lady psychiatrist and tries to
have Elaine committed to a Swiss
sanitarium. The plot thickens
with the secret love affair be­tween
John and Blanche Cooke,
Elaine's best friena.
Helga, a German maid, plays
the part of an amateur detective
together with the two real
detectives Vanelli and Walker.
From the first scene this
Broadway success builds steadily
in suspense and menace until the
final breath-stopping moment
when the unexpected Utiwst"
triogs the play to a close. Don't
mia it!

writing, she denies being creative
although she has written some
children's poetry which she
"wouldn't want to brag about."
When the snow Oles, you will
find Mrs. Hawkins siding, or as
she dubs it, "my pauion in life in
winter." Antique collecting also
takes up a great deal of time, not
by choice, but in order to fill her
house with durable furniture.
Her immediate reaction when
asked about her interests is,
"Well, I have three kids." Her
husband, Dr. W. W. Hawkins, is a
local veterinarian. Their children
are James, a second lieutenant in
the army; Jane, a senior at
Occidental College; and John,
"the little creep," (spoken with
warmth) a sophomore at
Beaverhead County High School.
